"Going Natural" makes the news

Sometimes as a natural hair blogger and enthusiast, I am still always shocked when natural hair makes the news. Be it shown in a good or bad light. And quite frankly, I've seen it more in a negative light than a positive one. Remember the story about homeboy who couldn't go to his homecoming dance because of his locs?

But then there are stories like this one. Either it was a super slow news day in West Palm Beach, Florida or natural hair is really a big deal. You already know what I think.


Watch. And tear up if you're mega sensitive like me.

Got locs? No Homecoming dance for you, kid.

It's stories like that prove that black hair a big effing deal. And not always in a good way. This story pisses me off to no end and I hope that they press charges. And march. I am sick of people telling us that our hair is not professional. Peep the video and let me know what y'all think. Thanks Aisha.





P.S. I know some of y'all are down with the word "dreads" but it kinda makes me cringe the way its used in this story. Or is that just me? Probably. LOL!
